[edit] OAI and Character Validation Tools

Validation systems may be used by data providers to fix metadata records before they are uploaded to the data provider repository tool.

  • OAI Repository Explorer
    • This site presents an interface to interactively test archives for compliance with the OAI-PMH. It allows data providers to check how their data is harvested and service providers to check how well their repositories can be searched.
  • utf8conditioner
    • This is a small C program that will either check or 'fix' a UTF-8 byte stream. It was designed to be used within an OAI harvester to attempt to remove bad codes from supposedly UTF-8 byte streams so that they can then be parsed using a standard XML parser which would otherwise fail.
